Description: The #1 best-selling saga of the Casteel family continues with a dazzling new story from V.C. Andrews.

Our narrator is Heaven's daughter, Annie, a sweet and loving young woman who has known the sort of happy home that always seemed out of her mother's reach--until a terrible car accident shatters her world. Heaven and Logan are killed, and Annie is left paralyzed from the waist down. Whisked off to Farthinggale Manor by her mysterious "great-grandfather," Tony Tatterton, Annie pines for her lost family, but especially for Luke--her half-brother, her fantasy prince, the loving confidant of her childhood. At Farthinggale Manor she becomes lost in the despair of the decaying mansion, haunted by the growing suspicion that Tony is trying to keep her an invalid. When Annie discovers a secret cottage hidden in Farthinggale woods, the mystery deepens. And even as she yearns to be well again, to regain her old life and to see Luke again, her tender hopes are threatened by the sinister plans of Tony Tatterton and the shadowy secrets of Farthinggale Manor, where nothing is ever what it appears to be.
